Chapter 1770: 483 Ship Breaker and Death God’s Lock … Storluk Planet. Northern Military Center. Inside the control tower room. A space undead, whose body was smeared with bright red spray paint, yawned while gulping down a sulfur-yellow colored beverage: “Ebron?” “Ebron!” “Stop fuckin’ playing games, I’ve got something important to ask you!” He shouted at a colleague who was sitting in the row in front of him, playing games during work hours. The space undead named Ebron was sprayed with a huge bright yellow chrysanthemum, and a large amount of fluorescent dye was added to the paint, making his swollen and huge body stand out even in the mostly dimly lit duty room. Ebron, engrossed in the game, merely cursed: “Shut up, Dante, this is critical right now!” But as soon as he finished speaking, a large “GAME OVER” appeared on his screen. This made Dante, who was sitting behind him, burst into laughter, almost spraying his sulfur beverage on the display. “Alright, alright!” “But this round doesn’t count, I was distracted by you!” Ebron turned around sulkily and asked: “What’s the important thing you wanted to ask me?” Dante propped his chin with a mechanical arm: “What are we eating after work?” Ebron exclaimed angrily: “Is that it?” “Is it that important?” Dante defended his question with conviction: “Of course, after having ‘Iron Cast Nutrient Paste’ for several days straight, I feel like I’m about to rust inside!” Saying this, he blinked mysteriously at Dante: “I know a friend who can score some delicious ‘delicacies’…” Ebron hesitated: “Delicacies?” “Are you talking about the sweet psionic power of intelligent beings?” “That’s a banned substance…” Dante dismissed it: “It’s banned for us, but for someone at the Captain’s level it’s an authorized tribute.” “Don’t you want to try it?” “If we put our money together, we could definitely have a feast…” Ebron hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded lightly. Dante laughed satisfactorily and then took a big gulp of his sulfur beverage. “So, when do we go?” After a while, Ebron seemed to get a little impatient. But Dante appeared more composed: “Ease up.” “We haven’t finished work yet.” “I just received a request, the Skyhawk has taken off from Concealment Hangar Seven, headed for Hume Three…” He said while expertly operating the screen in front of him. “The Skyhawk?” Ebron asked in surprise: “Who filed the request?” Dante checked and answered: “Captain Grey Eagle.” “His declared reason is ‘apprehending a vital suspect’, hmm, his allowance is sufficient, headquarters approved it, we just need to monitor the Skyhawk’s itinerary.” Ebron curiously asked: “Captain Grey Eagle is leading a team to Hume Three to nab someone at this crucial juncture?” “Didn’t the higher-ups say to avoid causing a stir as much as possible recently?” Dante shrugged: “Who knows?” “Captain Grey Eagle always has his own ideas.” “We just need to do our job, the Skyhawk won’t be on a field mission for more than an hour, once it returns, we can clock out…” However, shortly after he spoke, a sharp and rapid alarm sounded from the central control panel not far away! “Emergency alarm?” “What’s going on?” Ebron’s massive body swiftly stood up, his back’s huge painted chrysanthemum quietly blooming in the night of the control room. Dante leisurely stood up and walked toward the large screen at the central console in a stroll-like manner. As he walked, he chuckled: “It’s probably like that incident three years ago, maybe some klutzy crew member accidentally triggered the alarm while using the restroom.” “Hehe… These clumsy field agents, letting them pilot the Skyhawk, what a waste of resources!” Saying this, he approached the console, quickly shifted the lever beneath the screen, and a few seconds later, the screen displayed several segmented images as shadows. “Let’s see what this is all about?” Dante spoke still in a relaxed tone. But the next second, right in the center of those numerous surveillance grids in the largest monitoring area, two space undead on duty witnessed an unforgettable scene— They saw a giant ape, nearly three hundred meters tall, proudly standing on the bridge of the Skyhawk Starship. Subsequently, the Eastern Immortal Ape grabbed the main body of the bridge and then astonishingly uprooted it! Suddenly, the entire deck of the Skyhawk Starship started shaking and vibrating violently! They saw countless sparks and electrical currents raging everywhere! They saw the crew members of the Skyhawk, like a swarm of flies, hovering around the giant beast, which only needed to mildly swing its limbs to knock them into space! They saw the entire starship gradually collapsing, almost every module showing varying degrees of damage! “An unidentified giant beast is damaging the Skyhawk!” “Initiate emergency plan 701!” “Damn, is it 701 or 704? We have never encountered this situation before!” Dante’s voice was filled with confusion and panic. Ebron swallowed hard, his voice muffled: “So…” “Do we have to work overtime?” Dante glanced at him, his voice uncontrollably trembling: “This time…” “It might be more than just an overtime issue!” A few minutes later. All the buildings of the Northern Military Center lit up one after another.
